Hornsby Shire Council is directly responsible for 2,000 hectares of bushland. Council manages policies and strategies as well as operate programs to ensure that our bushlands and waterways and the flora and fauna that live in them are protected.

Council will only collect domestic waste and recycling bins it has provided. These have a coloured (red, yellow or bright green) lid and a Hornsby Shire Council logo on the front of the body of the bin.

There is an additional charge for each extra bin, which will be placed on your rates notice. Fees for 2018/2019 are:

Additional red lid garbage bin (140L) - $168 per financial year.

Additional yellow lid recycling bin (240L) - $50 per financial year.

Additional green lid green waste bin (240L) - $53 per financial year.

Did you know?

50% of the waste in your red bin is food waste? To reduce the need for an additional red lid garbage bin which will save you money, you may like to consider purchasing a compost bin or worm farm.
